You would probably get more out of a 2 into 1

In my experience unless your building the motor to close to 100 hp or more, the increase in low end torque wont be noticed as much as the upper end hp you'll gain with true duals. The dyno sheet will show more than the butt dyno will feel. My bike is 84hp and 92tq and ive had 5 different pipe set ups. I base my performance statement on real world bike vs bilke not the dyno sheet. With my set up 2into had me farther in front at 300 feet but almost passed at 1/2 mile. With Rinehart TDs its a steady pull away after 300ft. Plus they sound awesome. The bike seems to spin up faster with duals but that might just be my imagination.

You'll lose a bit on the performance side w/TD's, but nothing too noticeable & the sound makes up for this minor issue. If you're heavier on the proformance foctor - then better off w/2-1 exhaust. Can still get decent sound (D&D Fatcat w/non-restrictive baffle) and great low torque. I have Bub-7 TD's & love them...nothing like the look & sound of TD's on a bagger...JMO.

Good luck w/your exhaust upgrade - let us know if/when you decide on a system.
